Yes, cats constantly go in heat if they are not bred. I recommend spaying her so this doesn’t happen. Constantly going in and out of heat can cause problems. She may develop breast cancer later in life from the constant hormonal swings. She can also get a uterine infection that is very serious and could become life threatening. I recommend breeding her if you want kittens, otherwise spaying her is best for her health. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Ollie.
